DHAKA, Nov 11, 2023 (BSS)- It was a frustrating day as archers Mohammad Hakim 
Ahmed Rubel and promising archer Diya Siddique lost their respective events 
of the Asian Continental qualifier Tournament for Paris Olympics 2024 held in 
Bangkok on Saturday.

In the recurve men's singles elimination round, Rubel lost his Chinese 
counterpart Kwok Yin by 6-5 points in the quarterfinal after the first stage 
ended by 5-5 draw. 

To decide the result, both of them shot one arrow each. Rubel scored nine 
while Kwok Yin scored nine plus it means Rubel was defeated as his arrow was 
far away from the center point.

In the recurve women's singles elimination round, Diya Siddique lost to her 
Malaysian rival Mohamad Zairi Ariana Nur Dania by 6-4 points.
The Bangladesh archery team is expected to return home tomorrow (Sunday).
